Brandon: Cats, Dogs, Pets Up For Adoption Nearby

Looking to add to your family? Look no further than these Brandon animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many facilities in Brandon and environs are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in their forever home.

Across Florida, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many of them are located within driving distance. On a search for a lovable new fur child? Consider checking out a local rescue facility like Ark Of Tampa, where Cheddar the cat is waiting patiently. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in permanent homes.

With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled this week?s list of animals available for adoption near you. Whether you?re looking for cuddles or companionship, one of these animals could be the perfect fit for your family.
